Great mountain, fun to ski. Was out there for 7 days of skiing and never got bored. Always a new way down the mountain to find and the tree runs are excellent. One of the best mountains I've seen in the country.

Loved our three days at Beaver Creek. Stayed at the Arrowhead base, which was super convenient. I liked the quick blues of Bachelors Gulch, and my wife liked the open uncrowded McCoy Park. Would ski again!

Beaver Creek is a great destination - lots of terrain and options for skiers of all ages.
It probably has the best selection of green and gentle blue runs of any mountain in the USA. Some good steep stuff too!

Beaver creek has 5 separate ski areas that are unique. The main mountain off of the cinch lift is for beginners and ski school. The birds of prey lift is for experts, as well as grouse Mountain. Larkspur lift is a mix of advanced riding and blue runs. McCoy Park is for beginners and lessons. The strawberry lift is a mix of advanced and blue runs. Bachelor Gulch is really good groomed runs for greens and blues as well as arrowhead mountain.

Great for the kids! gentle slopes and a cute town. Beaver Creek is an upmarket, family-oriented resort so If you want to party hard, then Vail, nearby, is a much better base!

This is a beautiful resort, part of the Vail Resorts group. Accommodations are of a very high standard and most properties are ski-in ski-out with a large network of lifts.Top of the mountain are a number of groomed green runs which are excellent for beginners and learning being very wide and easy. Snow conditions are usually excellent and the ski school is top notchFor better skiers there are a number of blues and blacks including the World Championship Birds of Prey runIf you ski here you will find it hard to go anywhere else. The only downside is the cost with day passes at over $300 which is ridiculous and makes this unattainable for many

Just up the road from the Mecca of Coloradoing in Vail is Beaver Creek. World class skiing, riding, class and options without parking structures or trucking thru town, always snowy and lures you on the edge of apres with a warm cookie. Everyone deserves a cookie !

I recently flew into Vail and rode both Beaver Creek and Batchelor Gulch. The Ritz was amazing as well as the slopes.

Great place to learn to ski/snowboard with its beginner friendly areas. It also has difficult terrain that challenges any level of experience. Overall a good vibe and great place to visit.

I love beaver creek for the short lift lines and great terrain. Its similar to vail just without the lines. However, I do wish there was more steep terrain - one thing beaver creek lacks. While its insanely expensive to apres and eat on the mountain, the atmosphere is incredible and so much fun (especially at the ritz) . The mountain creates such a great sense of community and there is something for every kind of skier.

Its a really great place to learn snowboarding. Great view and a great school. I think everyone should get the opportunity to ski or snowboard there.
